After Mocking Zion Williamson’s Baby Mama Drama on Live Television, ESPN Reporter Apologizes 22 YO NBA Star for His “Off Season” Comment

Zion Williamson has broken the internet, and it is not because of his thunderous dunks. He has been in the news for reasons that have induced both criticism and ridicule. As questions about his fitness level and availability take shape, he has been entangled in a complex web. Multiple women have accused him of cheating and lying, which has caught the attention of fans and experts alike. Therefore, there are also instances when some journalists are also making something out of these stories.

Ryan Clark, an ESPN journalist and former NFL player used a bizarre Zion Williamson analogy when discussing Lamar Jackson and Baltimore Ravens. Let us look into what he has to say.

Zion Williamson catches a stray

During ESPN’s First Take, a panel was discussing if the Baltimore Ravens are the biggest threat to the current NFL champions Kansas City Chiefs. Clark was discussing the options that the Ravens have for their upcoming NFL season. He lauded the inclusions made by the squad to assist Lamar Jackson. He argued that the Riptide Rush squad can develop an efficient offense with the wealth of options around Jackson. This is where he slid in a Williamson joke.

“I believe this team can excel offensively. Right now, Lamar Jackson, when everyone is healthy and they are still in their player’s room, is gonna have as many options as we have seen Zion Williamson have this entire offseason.“, joked Clark

Clark delivered these lines in the most serious manner possible, which makes it all the more fascinating. These comments are regarding the allegations of cheating made by multiple women, among which Moriah Mills has been the most vocal one. Apart from her, Yamile Taylor also came out against the Pelicans Forward.

Williamson triggered these reactions when he posted a gender-reveal video with his pregnant girlfriend Akheema. Therefore, Clark is referring to the number of intimate options Williamson has had and equating it to the options on offense by the Ravens. He later called it a “slip”.
